“The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.”
Paul Newman
The Inspiration
Some work celebrates beauty. Some work changes lives. I want mine to do both.
Many years ago, I read the following words by author Bob Moawad:
"Help others get ahead. You will always stand taller with someone else on your shoulders.”
This concept planted itself deep within me that day and, through the years, has woven into how Bark & Gold Photography operates. What started as a community pet calendar contest has grown into sustained fundraising efforts, collaborative book projects, and ongoing support for local rescues, shelters, and nonprofits that provide care, shelter, and lifesaving services for animals in need.
I’m honored to partner with leaders in animal welfare, and each initiative reflects a belief that connection—with animals and with community—matters deeply.
